MRL-Exempt Crop Protection for Apples and Hops - Video

A Safe and effective Apple and Hops crop protection protect, Spear®-Lep by Vestaron, does the 'heavy lifting of synthetic chemistries but with a biologic', says Crop Advisor Greg Newman of NWFM Management. Vestaron's peptide-based Spear® products are MRL-Exempt, making it easier to put into an IPM program. Lee Mendez at @stadelmanfruit536 talks about a major benefit of Spear®-Lep for his PNW Apple Orchard. He rests easy knowing that, by using SPEAR products, he is taking care of the workers who take care of his crops, harvest the fruit, and make business possible. They can safely enter a block quicker without worry. Keith Veselka, Orchard Operations Manager at NWFM has seen Spear®-Lep controlling the population early, which allows them to spray less, impact the orchard less, and produce the highest quality fruit with the lowest impact. Danny Hallman, Farm Manager at Golden Gate Emerald, mixes Spear®-Lep with his other insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers for his Hops Farm and it 'works quite well' for what he needs.
